Hi!
I encountered some things trying to build own packages under Windows
2000 for which i found no answer in the documentation.
First.
1. I do not found the rcmd.exe in the bin directory of R_HOME.
I installed R using the setup.exe
2. I updated the R intatllation with one of the zip files. (rw1041sp.zip)
now i had the rcmd.exe in the bin.
3. I do not found any hint in the docu that perl is needed.
4. I even do not found any hint that there are shared modules and that i
can be necessary to add an
PERL5LIB path to the enviroment variables to use them and i still do not
know if it is necessary.
Anyway, after few ours and some print statements i figured out that
system("tar chXf $exclude $filepath $pkgname"); in the build file
called
with
rcmd build
causes:
C:\prog\R\rw1041\myfiles\test>rcmd build --use-zip masspec
1
Its Windows MAN
** Options --use-zip for --binary ignored
* checking for file `masspec/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing `masspec':
* cleaning src
its ok
* checking whether `INDEX' is up-to-date ... OK
* checking whether `data/00Index' is up-to-date ... OK
* removing junk files
* building `masspec_0.1.tar.gz'
something wrong!!!!!!!!!!
tar: Unknown option "-hXf"
Usage: tar -{crtux}[lpmovwzU[0-7[lmh]]] [-b blocks]
[-f tarfile] [-V volpattern] [file [-C pathname] ...]
masspec_0.1.tar: No such file or directory
even i have the tools for windows installed.
I really want to build and install my own packages! I am out of ideas now!
Can anyone give me a hint?
(is there a mailing list for R-Ms Windows?)

At install time, you need to select "source package installation files". Then read the `readme.packages' file, which tells you what you'll need, which explicitly includes Perl.

Hi Uwe!
Thanks. The key to solve this problem was the output of your tar program.
I had a different tar. Setting the tools directory first in the path
variable solved the problem.
But solving one problem leads to the next.
now i have a file called
mypackage.tar.gz generated by
>rcmd build mypackage
But i am still working with windows 2000?
I expected to find a zip file.
I know that I am asking trivial questions but I want to come after a few
hours to an end.
I a missing in R extension a more detailed step by step description with
some examples.
To whom send proposals of change to the R extensions manual. I am also
willing to writ one step by step descriptin for windows 2000.
Sincerely Eryk
The output of tar --version is:
C:\prog\R\rw1041\myfiles\test>tar --version
tar: Unknown option "--version"
Usage: tar -{crtux}[lpmovwzU[0-7[lmh]]] [-b blocks]
[-f tarfile] [-V volpattern] [file [-C pathname] ...]
But for sure it is the tar that i downloaded with the tools from the cran.
